i may adopt two chinchillas soon, but i want to prepare for the future as i'll have to go to college in a few years, and most of them only allow service animals or emotional support animals. so i'm just curious if a chinchilla can be an emotional support animal :)

Well, breakup. Why do rodents have me sad?

• Groups of mice were given pure Pepsi, Coca-Cola or watered down versions

• A control group got tap water, and they could drink as much as they wanted

• 15 days later, the soda-drinking mice had bigger testicles and more testosterone

The country's most popular sodas might refresh the parts other drinks can't reach - by giving men bigger testicles and making them more masculine, a study suggests.

Research on mice showed adult males who drank Coca-Cola or Pepsi had higher testosterone levels and larger genitals than their peers.

The unusual finding appears to contradict previous studies that have shown sugary drinks and processed foods make men less fertile.

But there is some evidence that high caffeine intake can ramp up testosterone production in the body, which leads to greater sperm production and larger testes.

Experts are not suggesting that men should rush out and drink lots of Coca-Cola or Pepsi. Previous studies have linked sugary sodas to a host of health problems including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and tooth decay.

Experts from the Northwest Minzu University in China set out to show that sugary sodas were bad for male fertility.

They cited previous research which showed that carbonated drinks had negative effects on female ovaries.

One group of 30 male mice was kept in a cage, and their water bottle was filled with 50 percent Pepsi mixed with tap water.

Another 30 mice were kept in a different cage and given pure Pepsi.

The same was done for two groups of mice but with Coca-Cola. A fifth group was used as a control and given pure water.

All mice could drink as much as they pleased for 15 days.

The mass of the mice's testicles was measured on days zero, five, seven, 10, 13 and 15.

On day 15, the mass of the mice's testicles was significantly higher in the groups that drank Coca-Cola and 100 percent Pepsi, compared to the 50 percent Pepsi and control groups.

'The outcomes demonstrated a high dose of Pepsi-Cola or Coca-Cola could promote testis growth and development,' the study said.

Testosterone levels were also recorded, and concentrations were found to be enhanced at the end of the study.

On days 10 and 15, the group which drank pure Pepsi had significantly higher concentrations of testosterone than the control group.

That the Chinese were roasting chinchillas in the mall and handing out free samples.

I didn't take any bc I'm vegan, I just played with one of the live ones.

He's not handling the rejection well

Luckily he has the typical short-term memory of a moid and forgot about the incident soon after and started bouncing around, while the poor mayo is still hiding and being vigilant

I suspect he's an exhibitionist or something because he only tries to surprise s*x her when I let them out I don't see him try any of his moid nonsense in the cage and in the morning they still cuddle together and sleep Maybe they bang but the mayo doesn't want to be part of his fetish idk

@haggis one of your peeps

She kept trying to nuzzle the camera
